Vask had raged. She had raged at everyone, but mostly at her youngest, Itêila. How could you fall short of a warm-blood? Hissed the Praetorii, her fury joined by the judgement and disappointment of her sisters. Already proven, already established. Itêila had yet to do any of those things...and had failed to do the one thing she was assigned to do.

Vask's anger had more than just words. Running talons down the side of her face, Itêila only winced the slightest bit at the pain that bloomed beneath her fingers. The claw marks weren't yet healed. She sat there, on that miserable planet, cloaked in branches and shadows, hating the golden brat and the white hairball he'd chosen to be sweet on in lieu of them.

And then, she stood and slithered from her hiding place. A Tshekge's hate was no impotent thing. And she was done licking her wounds.

---

Far away, in the Imperial grounds of the Prime Administrative Circles, the Prince and his beau were blissfully unaware of the things their union had set in motion. They were thinking only of a bright future, a big family, and braving the challenges of life together.

The current challenge being the issue of what to wear for their wedding.

" They'll have to measure you, among other things." Xaallo says, almost warningly. He knew what his mate was like. " Unless you'd rather do it yourself?" He gave a sigh. Big political events like this were so tiring, especially when Kaldane was insisting everything be perfect and properly ostentatious in proportion to the importance of it all.

He mutters to himself, " You nervous?" He asked, projecting his own nerves in truth.

"There's not really a lot to talk about."

Any idiot could make that out for the fib that it was, from the dour look on Vin's face and the way she hucked the pebble she'd been fiddling with at a passerby in the street below. Even in her little funk, she still had pretty good aim, if the ensuing scream was anything to go off of.

"Just missing a stupid festival. That's all."

" Look, of all the times for you to begin doing. This. Now is the time I would enjoy it most if you would not do that. "

Fingers trace the line of his temple and Two feels his face start to heat up from a mixture of confusion, what might be anger, possibly hunger ? Man, he could go for a beef bowl right now. Swirling emotion churns in his positronic wiring casing that he would liken to an organic brain, the sound of mechanical whirring fills the air ever so softly.

Inhale (fake), exhale (fake.) He shakes his head.

" Unimportant. Unimportant, unimportant, unimportant. What is important is that we do not freak out. Freaking out will lead to problems. We don't want those. We want solutions. Let's find solutions. Okay. "

Pacing back and forth, he grips the data drive with one hand so tight it cracks under the force applied. Two's eyes dart down to it ; oops. They then dart back up to Ardaka, the kariian's scowl one noted and dismissed immediately after. They have bigger things to worry about right now than either of their stupid feelings, and Two cared more for Ardaka's safety than hurting his stupid feelings. Former took priority. Affirmative ; begin op. KASMAR Corporation wasn't gonna win this one.

" Step one. Examine our options. We could just go kill literally everyone in the area. Not an option, nevermind, stupid. Option two. We turn you into a toaster. I could definitely map a kariian consciousness, probably not even that hard. What do you guys even have going on up there that's unmappable. I can map a human I can map you. Option three ... how do you feel about cybermorphs. "

"Tell me, what manner of monster did that to your face?" She usually wasn't one to ask about scars but she could sense that the one before her was no ordinary creature. For something to get the better of them...

Now that was interesting.

Garden was a kind word for whatever Yeskiv was cultivating down here. Heliinx had heard rumors, scoffing at what her ally had been up to in her own time. Gardening, pah! What a man-thing past time! Of no interest to her....that is, until one of her more favored messengers went missing. Then another. All after being sent to spy.

I mean...better them than her, but her personal messengers were extensions of herself! To attack them was tantamount to disrespecting Heliinx herself! And so the she-rat had gone marching into this garden (attended by guards of course), to have words with the Kariian. Words she almost forgot upon seeing the absolute monsters being grown down here.

Poisons. Flesh-eating flora, more fit for Lustria than the chilly north. And Yeskiv attentively pruning something monstrosity or other.

" Would you mind telling-explaining to me why two of my personal-private messengers haven't been seen since I sent them to you-you?"

A winged shadow has flit over his shape a few times, easily dismissed as a bird the first and second time. But the third and fourth...awfully persistent for a bird. And large.

There is a sickly sweet aroma in the air, one that grows more potent as the seconds turn to minutes. A feather drops and lands on the Hunter’s shoulder, all pastel purples and pale greys.

That is from no mere bird.

Being able to find a rare time of peace to stargaze late before resting in the next day, Micah travels to a high location over the city so they can admire the starry sky better. Not often do they get a chance to be at a place where they can gaze at the sky with little to no air pollution. It is a shame as time passes on, it has been getting difficult to see the stars so clearly. Phoebus and Philos would tell them these stories of the late kind nights they had when they were a child, seeing numerous celestial lights shining most brightly across the upper region, the whole sky could be seen like it was on fire. Micah has been looking forward to admire the sky once more as they will until their death, but to stumble upon someone ahead, lashing at their arriving existence —

“Don't come any closer!”

Tension embraces their body tightly as annoyance flares in the chest, a feeling that belongs to someone else in the waking. Dizziness builds when they sense a presence forming within, ready to protect the System if necessary, although Micah tries to focus only on the stranger, their hands raised to indicate that they are not a threat. “I'm not here to hurt you,” they softly say, hoping @apexulansis will believe in them. They don't want to engage in combat like this anymore. They just want to rest. “I deeply apologize if I did appear as a threat coming here suddenly, but I only came here to stargaze... but I can leave you be if you wish.” A step back is taken, then, a preparation to leave to home if the other tries to attack.

Micah can't sense any Antigod energy from them, but at this point, after everything that had happened to them and the Antisociety, they have to be ready for anything. (With healing stab wounds and sorrow heavy on shoulders, they can't fight like this.)

How naive of the Priestess to think being rid of the pestilent ones would be so easy. How foolish of them both to think there would be no consequences for crossing the true sons of the Horned Rat and so brazenly!

Loyalty was a concept foreign to most Skaven, but they knew jealousy, resentment, envy, and terror. And Immiq knew well how to drive his fellow ratman, how to make them squeak, what to promise them to keep their cooperation, if only for a time.

The white-furred pair, the Grey Seer and the monster that run off with her, were not difficult to locate. Everyone had heard of the oversized She-thing that had taken command of a local Skaven Clan and many had already tried, with armies and assassins both, to wrest power away from them both. All had failed and it became clear to the High Aggregate that force wasn't the key to besting them both.

But the Horned Rat had blessed them with guile as much as with plague and numbers beyond counting. Guile woud win them to day and the blood owed for the destruction of their clan and warren.

Yeskiv would recieve word of Merchant-rats bearing rare wares for trade. "For Warlord eyes only-only" according to the messenger rat who had been sent to carry the merchants words, specifically to the non-skaven of the white-furred pair...

ㅤfighting an indignant and immature retort to the comment that the words would be hard for them to pronounce, byan simply huffed, their gaze only leaving their nails when ardaka plopped down across from them. eyes lit up at the proposed exchange of painting his nails for learning a bit of slang and profanity, and a grin, crooked and toothy, spread across their lips. seemed like a fair trade to them, even though they'd happily paint his nails for free anytime — it was always more fun if they were getting something out of it, so how could they refuse?

ㅤㅤ" rrh... rhk... rhgrrr...? "ㅤokay, so maybe he wasn't kidding about the words being hard for them to pronounce. it sounded simple enough when he did it, but trying to mimic the sound themself, even with their best growl, proved to be a real challenge. it sounded like an awkward, butchered attempt at best, and a failed effort at copying an angry dog at worst. scrunching their face as they recognize their failure, byan breathed a laugh through their nose and grabbed for ardaka's fingers, leaning in to study his nails for a moment before glancing back to their tray of various polishes. they were going to just use the same shade of pink that they were in the middle of applying for themself, but he kind of had a lot of pinks going on already... not that there was such a thing as too much pink, in their mind, but a different colour would pop a lot better on him.

ㅤㅤ" really? stupid's the worst thing someone can call you where you're from? "ㅤan eyebrow raised, yet some part of them wasn't so surprised to hear that, just based on the small amount they'd already picked up on about kariians.ㅤ" i mean, i can't talk, i've started fights with people who've called me stupid, but there're a lotta worse things someone can say, if y'ask me. "ㅤa shrug, and they ran a finger along the tops of several bottles of nail polish before stopping at the deep shade of purple that they were after.ㅤ" —specific slang? i dunno. with curses, my fave t' ask about first is always fuck, but you kinda beat me to that punch. slang's so different across languages though, an' like, even more so across planets, i've been findin'. how 'bout... oh, i know — tell me your favourite slang word or phrase, how 'bout that?

“ White fur. Red eyes. Reeking of uncertainty. You are the mortal who commands the unfortunate attentions or my brother.” It was more of an accusation than a question. “You must be.”
